Jesus, the Redeemer, is altogether ours and ours for ever. All the offices of Christ are held on our behalf. He is king for us, priest for us, and prophet for us. Whenever we read a new title of the Redeemer, let us appropriate him as ours under that name as much as under any…

JESUS IS ALL THE WORLD TO ME
Amazing Grace Words and Music by Will L. Thompson, 1847–1909 I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things.

It was far above the power of nature, and even contrary to its laws, that the aged Sarah should be honoured with a son; and even so it is beyond all ordinary rules that I, a poor, helpless, undone sinner, should find grace to bear about in my soul the indwelling Spirit of the Lord…

ROOM AT THE CROSS FOR YOU
Amazing Grace Words and Music by Ira R. Stanphill, 1914–1994 But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8) Out of the varied experiences of a fruitful life have come the many moving hymns of Ira F. Stanphill. As a child he traveled…
